There was pretty much nothing to like. Very large room. Heating worked, which was lucky as the windows didn't close. Cheap - but for a reason.

It's that cheap for a reason you're better off buying a cardboard box

The bottle of drink in the vending machine was only 80p

Staff were very friendly but the hotel was really not that nice

The room was priced cheaply. It had a TV and the wi-fi connection was good. I also liked the fact that there were booklets for local places to eat.

It was a large room with bathroom and wardrobe downstairs. The bathroom was clean. I found the reception staff pleasant and helpful. It was cheap. There are plenty of places to eat around the hotel.

I didn't like anything about it, conditions were poor, BUGS in one of the beds, no soap in the dispensers, no working shower, only 2 working light bulbs and 1 electrical socket worked, curtains had been removed but were ripped in the wardrobe with no curtain rings for putting it up. Room was not clean, bath base was all damaged. Water was tepid from the hot tap, didn't get any hotter, Bathroom door didn't close unless you slammed it shut which isn't ideal at night. Towels were tiny. Staff were unpleasant/unfriendly/incompetent. Have to pay cash on arrival, No receipt and conveniently state they don't have a refund policy. STAY AWAY!

100% verified reviews

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This lets us know that our reviews come from real guests, like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or quiet room than someone who’s stayed at the property before?

We want you to share your story, both the good and the bad. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinion and experiences, which are critical in helping guests make well-informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, and are treated with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after being moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

Once a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We will use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content as well as the property replies to that content.

We will allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is that of a distributor of feedback from both guest and property.

Guidelines and standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc...).

눉Curtains didn't close(off hooks) and windows didn't close (broken handles). Faulty electric socket with intermittent current (there were others that worked). Broken bath panel. No TV remote. No mention of dining / breakfast facilities. Down at heel, not very clean. One working light (plus bathroom). Staff offered no information. I had to say I had a booking, I had to say 'I'm staying here' when I wanted my key.' They seemed surprised I'd left my key despite signs everywhere insisting guest must do so. Car park full of litter. They don't seem to know how to handle guests. Even at this price, this is not acceptable. A place like this should never pass an inspection. Wish I'd reas other people's reviews.

눉I was given a key to a door that wouldn't open. Then had to wait for a key to another room for 10 minutes. When I finally got into the room, none of the plug sockets worked, the bathroom bin had mould on the lid. I didn't feel comfortable or relaxed at all... Barely slept and couldn't wait to leave.

눉Bed was very uncomfortable. Loads of springs. Room was old and ugly. The furniture I wouldn't have placed in my shed. Old, dirty and ugly. No window, but a big mirror instead. Ok if you like seedy, but for me it was horrendous. Avoid if you can. Worst hotel I have stayed in and I stay in plenty.

눇The bottle of drink in the vending machine was only 80p

눉Everything!!! £30pn IS too good to be true
Very shabby and old, I felt like I was a squatter.
First room I was shown had a pane of glass missing, and with a very busy main road outside, the noise was too much. Second room slightly better, however still very basic and stuck in the 60's. The hotel room door appeared to have been forced open in the past too, so my sleep was very light as I was waiting for somebody to come barging in.
I won't be returning.

눇The price only

눉Everything. Was told it was wheelchair accessable by lady on the phone, good job my Daughter was kept in hospital because it's all stairs, everywhere, even when you first walk in. My room was in the attic. 3 flights of stairs and long corridoors. I slept on top of the bed fully clothed with all my belongings on the bed with me. I won't describe my room, the pictures I've attached will show you all you need to know! Would never stay here again and would never reccomend it to anyone else either!

눉Dirty toilet, filthy shower curtain, broken hinges on window curtains, noisy mattress and miserable condition of carpets in the toilet. Broken bed side table and broken settee. No soap in the toilet. There is no kitchen in the hotel even there is no microwave. Hotel looks like a ghost house. Going up and down to get into the room.

눉It was fire hazardous, the wrong rooms had been requested from booking.com and the room needed some serious repairs i.e. tiles were falling off the walls and the floor tiles were smashed in the bathroom.
